Re: carpal tunnel surgery problems

: Thankyou for your replies. It helps to hear from people who understand. I went to the doctor and he put me on this medicine that is actually for people with heart conditions or migraines. It opens up the blood vessels more. He thinks I have poor circulation since my coloring in my hands is kind of bluish. He said my elbow would hurt if I had hurt the ulnar nerve. so I am still off work and in alot of pain. I wish I would have had a nuerosurgeon do this or a hand specialist. This ortho didn't really tell me anything to do or not to do for it. He didn't seem to concerned about the fall either. So now I go back on the 19th. Thanks again.

sue sorry to say your elbow don't have to hurt...my ulnar nerve was entraped at the elbow...i had no pain or problems with the elbow...my pain and numbness was all in the hand and fingers...that is why i didn't believe it could be in the elbow...but it was...i suggest you see another doctor...because if it is the unlar nerve it could it worse if not taken care of...Diane
